A Photo Report

The eight precepts cultivation day was fell on 03rd JULY 2005.
It attracted more than one hundred participants.

The teaching that we call Buddhism today came exclusively out of the Buddha’s experience of His spiritual Awakening beneath the Bodhi tree 2,600 years ago. For all these thousand of years, Buddhism obviously has been very flexible and adoptable to any cultures it went and that is the reason behind why we have Buddhism up to today. It has always won the heart of people rather than involvement of violence. It left spellbound through its beautiful spiral teaching that was never introduced to them.

Baking Soda is an amazing product almost everyone knows that keeping a box of baking soda in the refrigerator, freezer or any cupboard will keep away unpleasant odours, but do you know it has hundreds of other uses? It's cheap, non-toxic and most important of all highly effective.

To test if your baking soda is still fresh, add a tablespoon of baking soda to a quarter cup of vinegar, if the vinegar fizzes then it is still fresh.

To remove scents from a carpet, sprinkle with baking soda. Let stand for at least fifteen minutes, and then vacuum. Repeat as needed.

The Bodhi (The Pipphal)

The Buddhist rosary is use by both the Mahayana and Theravada Buddhist traditions. Whatever the Buddhist sect, the use of the Buddhist rosary is identical.

Fruit and vegetable juices are good for our body system. They cleanse, energize and regenerate the human system. Therefore it is good to add fresh juices to our daily diet. This will ensure that we get the enzymes, vitamins and minerals needed to keep us healthy. Many have experienced healing and rejuvenating effects after going on juice fasting.

When we go on a juice fast, we do not take anything else other fresh fruits and vegetable juices for the whole day or a short period of time usually two or three days. The juices provide us with easily-absorbed nutrients.
